The Pinewrap Raid
An orc raid out of Pinewrap is hitting the foragers. The grovewarden wants it ended, and the Ridgetop captain wants the route mapped.
Requirements
Walkthrough
- Meet the grovewarden at Pinewrap BankShe has a foraging knife on the counter that isn't hers. 'Two of my pickers came back without their hauls. One didn't come back. Find the band and end it.'
- Find the picker's last cutFresh cuts in the moss, then bootprints with no boot pattern you recognize. The trail bends north, away from the picker's usual lines. They were chased, not ambushed.
- Trade for a bow at the workshopThe bowyer has a strong recurve already strung. 'Take it. Pay me when the warband is done. My cousin was the picker who didn't come back.' He hands you a quiver without making eye contact.
- Track the raiders to Ridgetop denThe trail crosses into Ridgetop's foraging den. Their fire is still warm, the stew still in the pot. Six raiders, maybe seven. You count their packs and circle wide.
- Drop the raid leaderYou took the leader at the fire pit with one shot from the recurve and finished the rest at close range. The packs hold the picker's haul and his knife. They were going to sell it back to the warden.
- Burn the raid camp in the hollowsYou strip the camp for anything useful and burn the rest. The smoke rolls down into the hollows. Anyone within a mile knows the warband is finished.
- Report the raid at Ridgetop BankThe captain marks the route on the map. The raid is broken.
